Camellia Sinensis Live Tea Plant, 5–8 Inch Starter Plant, Grow Your Own Tea, Evergreen Garden Plant, Ships Without Pot

🍃 Live Camellia sinensis Tea Plant — 5–8 Inches Tall

Grow a tea plant of your own with this live Camellia sinensis starter. Known as the tea plant, this evergreen shrub is cultivated for the leaves used to make traditional teas. It is an appealing choice for gardeners interested in growing tea, adding an unusual plant to their collection, or establishing a container-grown tea plant.

Each order includes one live starter plant approximately 5–8 inches tall. The plant is grown in a 6-inch nursery pot but ships without the pot, so you can transplant it into your own suitable container or garden location.

🌱 WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 1 live Camellia sinensis starter plant

• Approximate height: 5–8 inches

• Grown in a 6-inch nursery pot before shipping

• Ships without the nursery pot

This is a young plant that needs time to establish and grow before producing substantial harvests of leaves.

🍃 PLANT FEATURES

• Botanical name: Camellia sinensis

• Common name: Tea plant

• Plant type: Evergreen shrub

• Foliage: Green leaves

• Primary appeal: Grow-your-own-tea gardening

• Growing options: Suitable outdoor gardens or containers, and indoor growing where sufficient light and humidity can be provided

☀️ CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Light: Provide bright light. Outdoors, partial shade or gentle morning sun can work well in warmer climates. Indoors, place the plant near a bright window and introduce direct sunlight gradually.

Water: Keep the growing medium evenly moist without leaving the roots in standing water. Check soil moisture regularly, especially during warm or dry weather.

Soil: Use an organically rich, well-draining, slightly acidic growing medium. Avoid heavily alkaline soil.

Temperature: Tea plants generally prefer mild to warm growing conditions. Protect young plants from frost and extreme temperature changes until you have confirmed the cold tolerance of your plant and local growing conditions.

Feeding: During active growth, use a suitable fertilizer according to its label directions.

Container growing: Choose a container with drainage holes and enough room for future root growth. Because the nursery pot is not included, you will need to provide your own pot after delivery.

🫖 GROW YOUR OWN TEA

With suitable care and enough time to establish, Camellia sinensis can develop into a productive tea shrub. Its leaves are used to make teas such as green and black tea through different processing methods.

Harvesting should wait until the plant is well established and producing sufficient healthy growth. Do not expect a substantial tea harvest immediately from a small starter plant.

📦 SHIPPING DETAILS

• One live plant per order

• Approximate shipping height: 5–8 inches, depending on the batch

• Ships without its nursery pot
